Obviously the fish in the locals were just as small back in the "good old days" judging from the stringers of minnows on display in several of the pictures. Of course, I doubt there was a limit back in those days. I know it was 25 trout per day when I was a kid growing up in Idaho. Yes, b...

Very cool, I remember seeing a few pictures of my grandfather at east fork in the mid 30's.

I don't even remember where I picked this up, but it was quick and easy, and it's all I use now. I guess people call it the "Orvis Tippet Knot". I tie it with my hemostats and it is super quick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW8BV3ZeaoE Rob Thanks I will have to try it, looks very easy

Thanks for the reminder

I keep watching the weather hoping for rain, I have not touched my SoCal streams as the tribs started to dry up. I would also like to ski at some point this season if we can get a 8-10ft base on Mammoth.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, now I need to get out and do some fishing

Great video, I grew up listening to stories from my grandfather about fishing for Steelhead on rivers like Santa Clara, Ventura,Sespe, Malibu. San Gabriel, Santa Ynez in the 20's to 30's. I was luckily enough to catch a few SoCal Steelheads on the Malibu creeks in the early to mid 80's. I hope thing...

Walmart had the GroPro 2 outdoor edition for $189.99, probably a better deal than EBay.

I would start by watching casting videos on YouTube, eventually join a FF club and get some lessons. I would continue to float tube, Silver lake is not bad on the June lake loop. Float tubing will be less frustrating than trying to cast among the trees on Rush above Grant. You might also want to try...

Makes me feel better about my own casting. That was a lumpy rainbow.

I had the same thing 2 weeks ago on Kern. I was trying to figure out why I was missing strikes. I try to check my fly more often now.

I also like Aaron Jasper's Euro Nymphing DVD, goes into French and Czech techniques.

Looks great Greg, can't wait until end of January when you are done with my net. That Carolina cherry is beautiful.

Thanks for posting the video, fished Bear creek many years ago.
